Chapter 723: 561 return to the country_2

Jiang Chen laughed, "With so many brothers around, let’s not cause a commotion at the airport."

Cui Zaiye didn’t insist any further.

"Everyone, take care."

Jiang Chen turned carefree and strode into the airport with confidence.

"Mr. Jiang really is a remarkable person."

Cui Zaiye watched his retreating figure and sighed.

Xing Jie turned around and reached out his hand proactively, "Mr. Cui, I’m looking forward to your future support."

Cui Zaiye turned his head and then smiled.

"From now on, we’re all one of our own, no need to be so formal."

The two hands clasped together.

————

"You actually know how to come back."

East Sea.

Miss Shi from the Shi Family personally came to pick him up.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The driver was driving.

Sitting in the backseat, she kept sizing Jiang Chen up and down.

"Do you think I’ve become more handsome?"

Jiang Chen was calm and collected, looking ahead, posing with a deep and cool demeanor.

Shi Qianxi, already used to his antics, responded as if she hadn’t heard him, "Not bad, you’re not missing any limbs."

As she spoke, she added, "Take off your pants."

Jiang Chen was startled and then turned his head, both surprised and wary, "What for?"

"To see if you have any internal injuries."

Miss Shi said earnestly.

Goddamn internal injuries!

Seeing that the lady was seriously reaching for his belt, Jiang Chen quickly stopped her, whispering sternly, "Stop messing around, there are people here!"

"I need to examine you to prepare for the next step."

Shi Qianxi said seriously.

Jiang Chen was puzzled and asked instinctively, "Prepare for what?"

"If there’s a problem there, I need to find another option quickly. My family only has one daughter; I can’t let the lineage end with me."

Listen to this.

What outrageous words!

Jiang Chen was struck dumb with astonishment, finding it both funny and sad.

Such brazen words could probably only come from this woman’s mouth.

"Just assume there’s a problem and go find someone else!"

Jiang Chen gripped her well-maintained hand tightly.

"What you say doesn’t count, I have to check."

Shi Qianxi struggled.

"You’re still the acting chairman of Jinhai, can’t you maintain a little dignity?"

Jiang Chen held onto her hand firmly.

At that moment, the driver coughed lightly.

Shi Qianxi glanced forward, the driver was still driving attentively.

Finally, she let go of his hand.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you do it?"

She changed the subject, as if nothing had just happened.

But it has to be said, after her ruckus, it felt like his mindset had instantly detached itself from the deception and fraud of Korea.

Could it be she did it on purpose?

Jiang Chen glanced at her face, still elegant but seemingly different than before, "What do you mean?"

"Don’t play dumb."

Shi Qianxi said, "It certainly wasn’t easy for Miss Lan to get out this time. I asked my dad, but he didn’t tell me anything. How did you manage it?"

"It’s a long story..."

"Then make it short."

Jiang Chen fell silent as if choosing his words carefully, then spoke unhurriedly, recounting the whole story succinctly and clearly.

For some reason.

He felt there was nothing to hide in front of this lady.

"You know such powerful relatives abroad?"

Hearing that Jiang Chen could even speak with the commander of the security forces stationed in Korea, Shi Qianxi was taken aback.

If she could have contact with such people, she wouldn’t have had to return to the country in such an awkward position.

"Nowadays, who doesn’t have some connections?"

Jiang Chen leaned back in his seat, full of swagger.

"You did it on purpose, didn’t you? Knowing such powerful people, why didn’t you say so earlier? You just wanted to force me back to the country, right?"

Shi Qianxi seized the opportunity and immediately began her inquisition.

"Oh, my dear, use your brain and think about it. They’re not my relatives, just acquainted with them. Even if you ask your own relatives for help, you still owe them a favor, right? Such an important figure should only be asked to solve key issues. You can’t bother them with everything."

"I don’t care, I think you’re doing it on purpose."

"I have nothing to say to you."

The two influential young man and woman bickered all the way, just like a pair of nemeses without any craftiness or scheming.

Shi Family Estate.

"Fine, you were brooding every day when young Jiang wasn’t here. Now that he’s back, you’re just sitting there with a long face."

Dining table.

Shi Zhenhua lectured his daughter.

"Dad, how can you bully me too."

Shi Qianxi protested.

Shi Zhenhua turned a deaf ear.

"Jiang, don’t mind her. Let’s eat."

Ever since his serious injury in the explosion, this business legend had not returned to the financial sea, staying home to recuperate, tending to his garden. His entire demeanor seemed much more peaceful, especially his warm smiles towards Jiang Chen.

The topic of the turmoil in Goryeo naturally came up during the meal.

"Miss Lan is indeed a person of great loyalty and integrity. If it were me, I’m afraid..."

Shi Zhenhua sighed and shook his head.

"But in the end, that Zou Kezhao, didn’t he still die?"

Shi Qianxi was unconvinced.

"It was my lack of consideration."

"What does it have to do with you? If it wasn’t for you, not just that Zou Kezhao, but she herself might still be sitting in a jail in Seoul."

"You’re right, Qian Qian. Jiang, you don’t need to blame yourself. Even the wisest can err, and you’re still so young. There’s no need to be too demanding of yourself. Not even Miss Lan could be expected to be perfect. I’m sure she wouldn’t blame you."

Shi Zhenhua comforted.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Uncle Shi, how come I feel like Miss Lan seemed to know that trouble would strike Goryeo?"

Although someone like Lan Peizhi had long developed the habit of concealing her emotions, from the very start of the incident to her release from detention, her reactions were all too calm.

Shi Zhenhua fell silent for a moment and then dismissed the attending housemaids.

"Dad, do you know something?"

Shi Qianxi tentatively asked.

"You don’t need to worry about so much, just focus on the company."

"Dad, am I not diligent enough? Look at me, I’ve lost quite a bit of weight."

And indeed.

The young lady had slimmed down, which made her not-so-prominent chest seem more substantial by comparison.

Managing such a large enterprise was indeed not an easy task.

Usually, the succession of family businesses is entrusted to professional managers, while the descendants merely enjoy the benefits. However, Shi Zhenhua didn’t seem to be entertaining this idea.

He ignored his daughter’s complaints and looked at Jiang Chen, asking, "Did you ask Miss Lan about it?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "I asked her, but she didn’t say anything."

Shi Zhenhua appeared thoughtful.

"If she’s not telling, she naturally has her reasons. Jiang, you’re friends with Miss Lan, it’s only right for you to help her. But remember to keep things in proportion."

For some reason, Jiang Chen thought of his previous conversation with Colonel Wang Heting.

There was undoubtedly a hint of warning in Shi Zhenhua’s tone.

Even someone as formidable as Wang Heting, with his impressive connections, did not overstep boundaries, and naturally, Jiang Chen would not make things difficult for Shi Zhenhua.

"Uncle Shi, I understand, I was just curious."

"I can only tell you that your feeling is not wrong. Miss Lan did indeed know that there would be trouble in Goryeo. Even if you didn’t help, she should be able to get out on her own."

"Dad, are you serious?"

Shi Qianxi’s eyes widened in disbelief, "If she knew, why did she still let herself get caught? Does she have a masochistic tendency or something?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but glance at the rich young woman whom he once kidnapped for a photograph and slapped. He felt oddly inside.

"Miss Lan had trouble in Goryeo, and look at how many people inside our country couldn’t sit still and jumped out."

Shi Zhenhua spoke calmly.

Shi Qianxi was certainly not stupid, and she was instantly awakened by these words.

"Dad, you mean Lan Peizhi pretended to be in trouble to deliberately draw out the ambitious plotters?"

"Adversity reveals true character. It’s often at the lowest point that one can see things most clearly."

Shi Zhenhua expressed himself succinctly and profoundly. In a way, having survived a brush with death, he could certainly relate.

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered a saying he had read before.

At the pinnacle, false followers are born; at dusk, true believers are revealed.

If that were really the case.

Then someone like Lan Peizhi must have a very deep and intricate thought process.

Jiang Chen’s brow unconsciously furrowed.

No wonder Lan Peizhi returned to her country so quickly.

Things seemed calm on the surface, but inside, her fury must have reached a peak.

Goryeo might have just been the beginning.

More intense struggles and reckonings might have truly started only after her return to the country.

Or perhaps, the curtain had already been lifted.
